"Family Restaurant" celebrates young children with gay or lesbian
parents. It's set in a magical world filled with cute characters who
reflect these kids' family lives. Set in a family restaurant, it features
talking ketchup and mustard bottles among the colorful diner residents, as well as real children with gay or lesbian parents.

Due to the amazing response, we are looking past our bare minimum goal to a new
fundraising goal of $11,300! If we make that, we will be able to
film in a larger space and have even more LGBT families and their
children in the film! We will also get a much better
cinematographer than yours truly and have much better puppets and
props. Please help us keep our momentum for this important and exciting
project.

Background: I serve on the Board of Directors of Outfest, a
prominent LGBT film festival. Each year, Outfest has a family day for
children to watch movies, but there are very few family-friendly films
where these kids can enjoy a fun story that reflects their own lives.
It's time to make something specifically for these wonderful children,
with a story that's charming enough to appeal to all young people.

My
producing partner on this is Jamie, who also happens to be one of
Zion's dads. This short film project is a gift to Zion, who is a very
special guy in my life. Children with lesbian, gay, bisexual, and
transgender parents need our support. Whether their parents identify as
GLBT, LGBTQ, questioning, out and proud, or living quietly, these kids
will enjoy a movie where they see their families. The more money we
raise, the better the film will be!

Please help us reach our new $10,000 goal. Thanks for visiting, and we would deeply appreciate your support!
